It has been too long since my last clothing post. The honest reason? We have replaced our old PC with an iMac – and it takes me days longer to complete a simple task. I literally couldn’t figure out how to open a new email, let alone download, edit and upload photo’s! (I discovered the USB port IN the keyboard on day three!) But I am back, officially.

I have a trouser rule: Trousers must be long enough to to cover half-way down your stiletto heel. Under no circumstances should they be allowed to flap around your ankles. If you are seated and cross your legs, your ankle can be revealed, but not the bottom half of your shin! That is why I got mine tailored, nowhere makes a 36cm length!

I had a long weekend thanks to a public holiday falling on a Monday – which meant….more shopping days of course!

For this post I am channeling Twiggy in her 1960’s prime. Bold print mini dresses, especially in black and white, are so reminiscent of that period.

I really love the gold button detail, semi-military-esque don’t you think? I actually squeezed this dress over my head before realising they are popper-buttons (and there is a side zip I totally ignored too -it’s a miracle I got it on!)

I love 50’s style lace dresses. They are so feminine. I especially like this ‘A’ line cut and slightly looser fit. Add some banging sky-scraper heels and off you go! (and I broke from my ‘natural’ norm and added a light green eye-shadow – talk about living on the edge!)
